60thAnniversary Sale
Wednesday, October 2, 2024 Miles, TX
Anniversary
only comes around for a handful of seed-stock operations. In fact, the average lifespan of a purebred breeder ranges from 5-7 years. We can’t claim to have planned it this way, but our 60th does come at an amazing time to be in the beef cattle business, as we are heading into fall with historically good prices for both feeder calves and fed cattle. Just last month at Superior's Video Royale, yearlings were routinely fetching over $2,200 per head and we saw some weaned heifer calves bringing over $1800 when calculated on a per head basis.
One of the main reasons our Halfmann Red Angus bulls are enjoying 60 years of sustained demand is the cow herd that produced them. The Halfmann Red Angus cow herd has proven to be adaptable and prolific. They’ve paid the bills during all the droughts and lean years of the last 6 decades, and have rewarded us with growth and expansion when it rained and markets were favorable. Long before the current Halfmanns were selecting replacements, our predecessors favored moderate sized, sound-footed, slick haired, easy fleshing, docile females, and had zero tolerance for open cows.
In the fall of 2022, we made the decision to move our bull development back to our headquarters. This decision has allowed us to have eyes on the bulls every day and utilize our own high roughage ration to ensure ideal rumen health and sound foot structure. Next, we invested in equipment to collect individual animal dry matter intake (DMI), which allows us to identify animals that more efficiently convert feed into pay weight. Our bulls will sell with feed efficiency EPDs, which are expressed as F:G (Feed:Gain), and you will find many bulls in our offering that should improve this economically relevant trait for your next calf crop. In addition to impacting conversion in the feedlot, intake impacts cow herd profitability through its impact on stocking rate and cow herd maintenance costs.
Our Diamond Anniversary sale offering is our best to date in terms of capturing quality grade premiums. The average Halfmann Red Angus bull we'll offer in our October 4th sale ranks in the top 14% of all Red Angus for marbling and there are many in the top 1-5%. With prime carcass premiums easily topping $200 per head, we're making sure our genetics come with bred-in earning power. Even if you sell your calves at weaning, they'll be worth more sired by bulls with documented carcass merit.
We are now three years into the process of incorporating $Profit into our selection process, and feel more stronger than ever that this gives our customers access to the most meaningful economic selection indexes in the beef industry. $Profit values the positive impact of revenue traits such as: fertility, calving ease, marbling, pay-weight, and gain against the expense generated by traits like: post-weaning feed intake, mature cow size and cow herd feed intake.
If you are in the area, reach out to us. We'd love to show you our C-Lock feed intake bunks and the associated SmartScale that capture weights each time an animal drinks and increases the accuracy of our weights by removing variation in fill. We'd love to show you our cow herd so you can see what's behind the bulls we'll be selling on Wednesday, October 2nd.
As we prepare for our 60th Anniversary sale, our routine has been overfilled with the day-to-day management of the ranch and with joy of raising the next generation of Halfmanns…so much so that the weight of a significant anniversary like this tends to sneak up on us. Then one day you’re branding the next crop of bulls and you’re both humbled and grateful for the perseverance and vision of those who came before and placed the responsibility of this opportunity in our hands. We hope you and yours will join us in Miles, Texas on October 2nd to share in this special event. Please don't hesitate to call if you'd like to come by to preview the bulls or if we can be of assistance in any way.

F:G(FeedEfficiency)
Expressed in pounds of dry feed required per pound of Gain. Progeny from a bull with a 0.00 F:G EPD would be expected to consume 1/4 of a pound less dry matter per pound of gain than a bull with a 0.25 F:G EPD.
FERT(CowFertility)
Predicts differences in the number of calves produced by bulls' daughters by the time they reach the age of 8 years. Daughters from a bull with a 2.0 FERT EPD would be expected to produce on average - one more calf by the time they reach 8 years of age than daughters from a bull with a 1.0 FERT EPD.

GridMaster Index
GridMaster is a selection index that predicts the average economic difference of non-replacement calves through the postweaning phase. Expressed as dollars per head, GM assumes all progeny are fed out to slaughter and marketed on a quality-based grid. Traits included in GM include ADG, CW, Dry Matter Intake (DMI), MARB, Back Fat and REA.
If Your Goal is Profit...Select for
Use the Index that best fits your Operation
$Profit
Developed for operations that raise their own replacements and retains ownership on steers and cull heifers, which are marketed on a Quality Based Grid.
$Profit assumes a bull will sire 100 progeny over his useful lifespan.
$Profit Combines all the traits that comprise both $Ranch and $Feeder to yield one number that predicts Ranchers' Bottom Lines.
$Profit Example:
• Bull A has a $Profit of $15,000
• Bull B has a $Profit of $10,000
= We would expect Bull "A" to produce an additional $5000 of profit to the ranch over his service life ($50 per calf x 100 calves) when compared to Bull "B".
Multi-generational use of $Profit will move both $Ranch and $Feeder in a positive direction, just not as fast as the singular use of $Ranch of $Feeder.
$Ranch
Developed for cow/calf producers who retain their own replacements and market 100% of the steer calves and cull heifers after weaning.
Traits included in $Ranch: Fertility, Milk, Weaning Growth, Cow Herd Feed Intake and Mature Cow Size
$Ranch Example:
• Bull A has a $Ranch of $80
• Bull B has a $Ranch of $40
= We would expect Bull "A" to produce $40 per head increased profit when compared to bull "B" in a cow/calf operation that raised their own replacements and sold all other calves at weaning.
Multi-generational use of $Ranch will ultimately result in: moderation in mature cow size, improved fertility, modest gains in weaning weight, improved stocking rates and ultimately - increased pounds of calf harvested per unit of feed/land resource.
$Feeder
Developed to compare how bulls will impact profitability in the post-weaning phase (weaning to harvest).
Traits included in $Feeder: Feed Intake, Post-Weaning Gain, Carcass Weight, Quality Grade (Marbling), Yield Grade
$Feeder Example:
• Bull A has a $Feeder of $100
• Bull B has a $Feeder of $150
= We would expect calves sired by Bull "B" to earn $50 per head increased profit between weaning and harvest when compared to calves sired by bull "A".
Use of $Feeder in sire selection will maximize Feedlot Closeouts, but with no regard for the cow herd. Thus, $Feeder should be used by herds that purchase their replacement females.
New for 2024... **Calving Ease Stars**
For several decades, ranchers have come to count on our Halfmann Red Angus bulls to deliver reliable calving ease. Some need a bull that can be used on heifers that calve out in big country and don't get a lot of attention. Others want to get all the growth and carcass value they can, and enough calving ease to use on well developed heifers that are close to headquarters and observed at calving. These bulls have the genetics for pay-weight, carcass merit and cow herd building traits to be useful in the cow herd as they mature and outgrow the heifers.
Annually, we get questions about which bulls we'd recommend to our customers for various scenarios involving breeding and the subsequent calving of virgin heifers. It is with these folks' questions in mind that we have developed a star system to help in this decision making process. The chart below provides detail as to how this calving ease star system can be used.
Stars Explanation
***** Elite Calving Ease - 5 star bulls would be the best choice for large commercial heifer breeding projects and/or calving out in bigger country with less attention or management.
**** Good Calving Ease - 4 star bulls would be good choices for well developed british breed and composite heifers that will calve closer to facilities and will be checked regularly.
*** 3 star bulls should work for Bos indicus influenced heifers that have greater maternal calving ease.
** 2 star bulls are great choices for "wet" 2-yr-olds and mature cows, but we do not recommend using them on heifers.
* 1 star bulls are approximately "breed average" for calving ease and low birthweight. While we don't recommend them for heifers, they are great for cows and often a great value. Bulls with zero stars are below breed average for calving ease and birthweight, and should only be used on mature cows.

The Trait that keeps us in the cow business...
FERTILITY EPD
The Fertility EPD (FERT) predicts differences in the calf crop percentage expected from a bull’s daughters! High Fertility EPD bulls will build cow herds with consistently better breed back and deliver a higher percentage of calves to the weaning pen.
Higher Fertility also lowers cow herd culling requirements which reduces replacement rates; which in turn reduces cow herd depreciation costs and provides a larger percentage of the heifer calves that can be sold. As you would imagine, these more desirable outcomes drive HUGE differences in profitability, so the Fertility EPD has tremendous impact on $Profit and $Ranch.
The Sale Catalog Data Explanation on the top of page 6 shows where the FERT EPD is presented in the sale catalog. The example below is useful for better understanding the trait units of the FERT EPD.
FERT EPD Example:
Bull A has a FERT EPD of 2.5 Bull B has a FERT EPD of 1.1 1.4
We would expect the daughters of Bull A to produce on average 1.4 more calves over their first 8 years of production than the daughters of Bull B.

TERMS & CONDITIONS
BIDDING DISPUTES
The Auctioneer will settle any disputes as to bids, and his decision on such matters shall be final.
TERMS
Terms of sale are cash. All settlements will be made with the clerks of the sale immediately following the conclusion of the sale and before any cattle will be released.
PURCHASER’S RISK
Each animal becomes the risk of the Buyer as soon as sold. Insurance will be available sale day.
CERTIFICATE OF REGISTRY
A certificate of registry will be furnished to the Buyer for each animal after settlement has been made.
ANNOUNCEMENTS
Changes or errors in the information contained in this catalog relating to the animals offered for sale will be announced from the auction box and such announcements shall take precedence over printed matter in the catalog.
BREEDING GUARANTEE
All animals sold are guaranteed breeders by the Seller. All claims for adjustment or refund must be made in writing within six months of the sale date. In the event an animal is claimed to be a non-breeder, the purchaser may return the animal to the ranch of the seller if in good condition, free of disease, and complying with the health requirements of the Seller’s state. The Seller will be entitled to six months trial following the return of the animal in which to prove that the animal is a breeder. If at the end of six months, the Seller shall be obligated, at his option, to refund the purchase price, replace the animal with another of equal value, or grant the buyer credit for use on cattle marketed by the seller. The return of the full purchase price shall, in any case, be deemed full satisfaction and settlement. If the Seller proved the animal to be a breeder, it shall be the obligation of the purchaser to take delivery of the animal at the purchaser’s expense. All animals are guaranteed to be breeders, with the exception of a) calves under twelve months of age; or b) animals shown by Purchaser after sale; or c) gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Purchaser.
SELLER’S SEMEN RIGHTS
Seller keeps a 50% revenue-sharing breeding interest without possession, in every bull in this catalog unless otherwise noted in this catalog or in the sale day supplement. In the event Seller elects to collect semen from a designated bull, it will be done at Seller’s expense and during such time when purchaser is not using the bull for breeding.
Future semen collections of the bull must be made known to all owners prior to collecting. These collections and costs will be divided according to each owner’s interest unless otherwise agreed upon mutually by all owners.
LIABILITY
Neither owners, sale managers, clerks nor anyone connected with the sale assumes responsibility, legal or otherwise, for damage of any kind.
CONTRACT
The above terms and conditions shall constitute a contract between the buyer and seller of each animal sold.
IMPLIED WARRANTY
Except for those stated in the terms and conditions, there are no warranties or implies, as to merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose with respect to the cattle being sold in this auction. The warranties set forth in the terms and conditions are in lieu of all other warranties, either expressed or implied, and the remedies provided therein shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the buyer, or any party claiming through the buyer, for any breach of warranty or guarantee therein provided and all other obligations or liabilities.
